My Sony Xperia Z1 Compact here in Germany just got the update notification. My Carrier is O2.
But I will reset my phone before I do the update via OTA.
Anurag Kumar, just for your info, this comment is also posted at your Google+ site, at XDA and at the Xperia blog.
Keep up the good work. ;-)
yes update is now live for Z1, Z1C and ZU plus for Z3 Dual.
thanks Anurag, now i am going to get Lollipop on my Z2.
When I'll get update for my xperia z1 m from india
If I were Sony, I'd say "Soon"
They have replaced word "Soon" with "next week" now Lol :P
just got the update today on my Z1. havent updated yet. wanna get some feedback on the same before i do.
its available now
So i have done a wipe and now when i try to install the rom it doesent work? any ideas ? where can i find the ftf file?
Check the post again mate, we have posted links of 3 fresh ftfs to be flashed via flashtool
C6902 is out! question, since xperiafirm fails to download this 1.2 GB file, instead of download, I clic on manual, and paste them in jdownloader, which works good. only problem is, instead of the _FILE files I get many differente files (I guess need to decrypt or something similiar) how do I process this files? in xperiafirm? or flashtool?
do u have a torrent file of it? my internet has been crappy all week so downloading a large file is impossible for me right now unless its a torrent. thanks
Yes I saw a torrent file at XDA yesterday, let me find it...will post links.
Successfully updated using the flashtool! Just waiting for root instructions :)
I'm from the Philippines, using sony z1 under a carrier. However, i havent gotten any updates yet ota. Shall i update my phone using pc companion instead? Has anybody tried this method?
Hi,
Hi, i'm from ph too. Usually it takes a lot of time(few more weeks ot event months) for the update to come up in pc companion or ota. I've downloaded the firmware(ftf) and used the flasthool and voila in 6 minutes i now have lollipop. No issues so far.
Today I got the lollipop update on Xperia Z1 C6902 in india !!!
when did u got the update...
how did u done that using pc companion or update centre
I got the update message from Sony bridge for MAC (same as PC companion on windows) and just followed the instructions.
